Pear Editor:
You are so very right when you
say that Coach Jim Hickey is
taking a "bum rap." You are so
right when you say that the hang
ing of Jim Hickey in effigy by a
small group of Carolina students
was not only in poor taste but
also a most uncalled for act.
Jim Hickey is a great coach.
The University and the students
should consider themselves kicky
to have had a man on . the staff
who possessed the ability to take
over and do such an outstanding
jcb in the most difficult of all
situations. Coach Hickey had lit
tle time to prepare for this sea-,
son. As a matter of fact, he had
only a little over one month; thus,
he had to follow another's plans.
He was forced to follow in the
footsteps of one of the greatest
and most colorful coache.s that
college football has ever known.
This is not an easy role. Some
expected him to be a "Jim Ta
tum" and then some. They ex
pected him, on the basis of pre
season prediction, to magician
and to possess a magic bag of
tricks that would enable the Tar
Heels to go through the season
with an almost perfect record.
What proof do we have to back
up the pre-season prediction that
Carolina would have done belt el
even under Tatum? Let's face
fact. Carolina was overrated at
the beginning cf the season.
I was a great admirer of Coach
Jim Tatum. 1 followed him and
his teams as long as 1 followed
football itself. He was truly one
of iootball's greats who will nev
er be forgotten. I know that if
Jim Tatum could have had one
wish before he died it would have
been to coach this year. I also
know that if he could have se
lected the man best fit to succeed
himself he would have selected
Jim Hickey.
We have a great coach in Jim
Hickey. His former records prove
this. His very presence on the
great Tatum's staff would mean
alone that he is of the select in
the coaching field because every
coach on a Tatum stall has to be
great. ,
Jim Tatum once sjiJ, "Winning
isn't the most important thing,
it's the only thing!" That's' true,
and no student can truthluhy uy
that Jim Hickey hasn't tries! to win
every game. A coach can show
a' player what to do aivj how to
do it. He can't play himself as
much as he would like to do so
Dear Editor:
Today (Nov. 12 I read about
the "Harry-Highs" who tried to
hang Coach Hickey in effigy after
the, UNC-Miami game. I didn't
know that this had happened and
I can certainly understand why a
thing of this sort would be kept
quiet. It's grand to know that
there , are those in our Student
Body who are' so eager for vic
tory; however, it is sad indeed to
see such eagerness turned into
wickedness. The people who tried
this deed must be warped individ
uals who were spoiled as children
and who, I'm afraid will surely
carry this spoiled attitude through
life if they don't grow up.
I rather suspect that if their
efforts had been channeled in the
direction of attending the game
instead of sitting beside a TV set
or engaging in idle conversation
over beer at some bar their dis
appointment would have been a
little more heallhy, shall we say.
I'll say any day that Coach
Hickey has done a good job and
1 know I'm not by myself in this
belief. I think he deserves more
than we're dealing him and the
sooner the trouble-makers on cam
pus accept the fact that "you
can't win 'em all," there'll be no
more of these childish and imma
ture demonstrations:
We've all heard it said many
times that "it takes all kinds."
It certainly must!

ventions. Rckefeller's chances of surmounting this
obstacle are rather poor. The politicians, hunched
in dark rooms filled with the stench of cigars, sour
whiskey, and the special smell of politicians, are
determining the fate of this country and if the ffte
is Nixon because he looks like a better vote-getter,
hen Nixon we shall have.
Recently Gov. Rockefeller has been on the West
Coast, talking mainly to college groups but at the
same time definitely testing his strength with the
politicians. The odds are that whether or not he will
make a formal run depends on how he feels about
his West Coast welcome. At the moment it does not
look very strong, and he knows that he will need
the West. On Saturday the Governors of Idaho,
and Montana gave their informal support to Nixon.
Only one of these seemed to feel any possibility that
his state's electorate might not support this feeling.
In Oregon and California Rockefeller has been
faced with people conspicuously wearing Nixon but
tons. Reports say that he has made a dent in the feel
ings of the populace, but has not swayed any of the
professionals. The real test of his strength will come
in he spring when and if he decides to have a run
at Mr. Nixon's popularity in some of the Presidential
primaries.
Governor Rockefeller, in making this pseudo
campaign, has come out decisively on a number of
interesting and important issues. He is extremely
interested in expanding his state interest in bomb
shelters to the entire nation; he has suggested that
the administration could be a little more firm with
Russia; has has recommended greatly expanding
national educational expenditures; he has suggested
that he would not feel bound by the record of the
Eisenhower administration.
Mr. Nixon, on the other hand, has been a little
more content to rest on his vice-presidential laurels.
He is a good man, and might make a capable presi
dent, but he should be more explicit in his state
ments to the electorate.
If the nation is going to be forced to tolerate
the Republicans for another four years, and it daily
appears more and more so, then let us all fervently
hope that we are going to be blessed with Governor
Rockefeller. He seems the better man.
To Your Good Eye, Mr. Smith
The use of the Daily Tar Heel
to air one's views is indeed the
backbone of journalistic freedom.
But when one airs his views he
accepts the responsibility of pro
per consideration toward the
reader. The "statement" of Mr.
Smith on the Freshman Legisla
ture did not, in my opinion, re
ceive such thought.
The "statement" by Mr. Smith
concerning a Freshman Legisla
ture was literally riddled with
ambiguities and sweeping general
opinions. There was a noticeable
lack of facts to support the opin
ion expressed. He dwells on the
"countless positions , . . available
to Freshmen," yet fails to enu
merate one single position. I got
the impression that the author
was not adequately informed.
I myself am a candidate for
Vice-President of the Freshman
class. Thereiore I have concerned
myself with this issue also. I
have spent a considerable number
of hours in discussion with Robin
Britt, the author of the bill, and
with qualified members of the
Student Legislature as to whether
this bill solves the existing prob
lem lack of Freshmaji represen
tation in Student Government.
Broad statement's, like Mr.
Smith's, are not in order. I am
concerning myself with the ques
tion of whether the bill wilsolve
the problem, and whether this
Freshman Legislature will provide
efficient representation for this
class and for classes who follow
us. I urge a cross-section of Fresh
men, regardless of sex, residence,
or affiliation to express their opin
ions to me and to my fellow running-mates.
This problem merits objective
and specific study due to its seri
ousness. I am sure that in the fu
ture it will receive nothing less
than this.

The Key
To Chaos
By ISHMAEL BOODLEHEIM
(Ed. Note: Ishmael Boodleheim is author of
"The Key to Chaos A Student Guide to Insur
rection," which will be released by the Carolina
Press November 18th. By special arrangements
with Mr. Boodleheim, the Daily Tar Heel will pub
lish several exclusive excerpts from the book.
Other works by Mr. Boodleheim include: "The
Final Dahlia," "Rum Turn, the Rhinoceros, "The
Noodle Bunny," and "Note From a Political Pris
oner." and people the world over are revolting.
You, are you content to sit in the lofty ivory towers
of your university whilst all around you, the trum
pets of impending struggle sound? "If thou beest
he; But O how fall'n" Nay rise up, rise up from the
place where you now sit and face the world. Climb
down from that tower, students, and revolt, for it
is the young who must lead the world. The old arc
old, but it is the young who are young. Yes.
Authority is evil. This I say unto you. Down with
all authority. The time has come to revolt, rebel,
lift up the tattered banners and strike home. And
damned be him who first cries, "Hold, enough."
Power is corruption; the ruling of a people needs
intelligent power power in the hands of the ngf t
people. Not the powerful people, but the people
who have never yet tasted the taste of power. Th
is your chance to gain power, and the result will be
reform. The time has come, students of the world,
for power to pass out of the hands of the powerful
and into yours. Let insurrection be your cry. It is
cried all over the world: these are the times for re
volt. And I say unto you, revolt, and the world is
yours. Do not sit. Stand up and let the bold among
' you raise the cry of leadership, and when you heir
the cry, heed its call adn follow. Follow the way ta
power. Follow, follow, follow, and power shall be
yours.
HCW DOES ONE BEGIN A REVOLUTION
(from Ishmael Boodleheim's "The Key to Chaos"
The first step in having your own revolution is
not, as one might suspect, having a thing to revolt
against, but is instead having a thing to revolt for.
It you are for something, it does not matter what
else yew are against, but if you are only against
something, it doesn't really help too much unless
you have something to supplant it. Therefore one
must have a cause without a cause, rebellion can
be most frustrating. The specific cause is better
kept as something lofty, for less exalted causes such
as bringing back Bella Darvi soon bring storms of
ridicule upon the revolter. Easing the suffering 01
humanity is always an excellent cause, and there is
always room for diverse manifestations of revolution
with this cause in mind. Of course my example of a
trivial cause may well ease suffering too, but that
is extraneous.
Once a noble cause has been decided upon, the
revolt must be organized (see my chapter on an
archy). This is the key step, for a revolution must
have leaders. Then, the fun begins in earnest as
you attempt to put into practice several of the re
volting principles I have already discussed. If you
are a college student, one suggestion for gaining
practice is to organize your own panty raid. Even
in the fall or winter. This can be most rewarding.
but even in this type of revolt against authority,
one must bear in mind the fact that it cannot be
handled in slipshod fashion or done half-heartedly.
You must storm those dorms with everything you
have, and fight to achieve your goal. When this prac
tice revolt is done, sit down quietly and try to find
what went wrong.
